  Abstract
 
Visions for Regenerative Medicine: Addressing the Challenges of Health Burden for Future Development

Dramatic progress has been made in the area of health over the past fifty years; however, improvements have been unequally distributed across regions. Developing countries share a disproportionate burden of avoidable mortality and disability primarily attributable to preventable infectious diseases, malnutrition and complications of childbirth. In addition, they are also increasingly struggling to manage epidemic rates of non-communicable diseases whose prolonged and costly care is drawing significant resources away from basic health priorities. Although science and technology by themselves cannot resolve the complex health challenges faced by developing countries, yet they are important components of the comprehensive strategy to improve individual health and govern economic growth and international commerce and social structure. Regenerative medicine is an emerging field that combines the knowledge and skills of several disciplines and has the potential to dramatically improve our ability to fight disease; repair the human body. Its goal is not just to replace what is malfunctioning but to provide elements required for in-vivo repair to devise replacements that seamlessly interact with the living body to stimulate its intrinsic capacities to regenerate. A key facet of the field of regenerative medicine is its interdisciplinary nature, which unites the entire spectrum in an attempt to improve quality of life for millions of people. Expansion of these technologies within the frame of national strategy planning can help development of academic, industrial, health out comes and above all globalization for the developing world.
